PRACTICAL JOKING.

A FEW days since, writes an attorney, as I was sitting with Brother

D----, in his office, Court Square, a client came in, and said--

"Squire D----, W----, the stabler, shaved me dreadfully, yesterday, and

I want to come up with him."

"State your case," says D----.

"I asked him," said Client, "how much he would charge me for a horse and

wagon to go to Dedham. He said one dollar and a half. I took the team,

and when I came back, I paid him one dollar and a half, and he said he

wanted another dollar and a half for coming back, and made me pay it."

D---- gave him some legal advice, which the client immediately acted

upon as follows:

The Book of Anecdotes and Budget of Fun; containing a collection of over one thousand of the most laughable sayings and jokes of celebrated wits and humorists. · 第 565 / 709 题
